Chinese kale microgreens are gaining interest for its phytochemical compounds and anti-cancer properties mainly from glucosinolates. Zinc is an essential for plant growth and is involved with phytochemicals accumulation. This study investigated the different concentration of ZnSO₄ on the...

Vegetable grafting has grown considerably and has been a management alternative to overcome adverse soil cultivation conditions. However, many producers have used grafted tomato plants in substrate cultivation, claiming greater vigor, productivity, and longevity. Thus, the work objective is to...

In order to explore the effects of abscisic acid(ABA)on monoterpene synthesis in grape berries, this study used table grape species 'Jingxiangyu' with muscat flavor as experimental material, and soaked the clusters with 300 mg . L-1 ABA twice at one week before and during veraison. The contents of...

Walnuts are abundant in oil content, especially for polyunsaturated fatty acids, but the understanding of their formation is limited. We collected walnut (Juglans regia L.) kernels at 60, 74, 88, 102, 116, 130, and 144 days after pollination (designated S1-S7). The ultrastructure and accumulation...

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has been an important tool for the discovery of plant viruses and their surveillance. In 2015, several virus-like symptoms were observed in passion fruit (PF) plants in Bahia state, Brazil. Using HTS technology, bioinformatics tools, RT-PCR, and Sanger sequencing,...

The genus Rosa L. belongs to the important family Rosaceae. Some taxa in Rosaceae produce delicious and beneficial fruits and some are good source of wood. In Saudi Arabia, Rosa L. is represented by different species, one of which is Rosa damascena Mill. R. damascena grows in many localities in...

A quantitative and accurate method is needed to estimate indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production by Trichoderma to compare strains and allow the repeatability of experiments in plant-growth promotion studies. Suspensions of 1.0 × 10⁶ conidia. mL^-1 of 98 Brazilian strains were grown in potato +...

Rosabanksiae is a vine-like shrub rose that is endemic to China. In recent years, leaf spot disease hasbeen observed frequently in park in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, China. The initial symptoms were small yellow spots; as the disease progressed, the lesions became dark brown. Isolates...

Potatoes are one of the most important sources of nutrients worldwide, but excessive doses of industrial fertilizers are usually used to achieve higher yields. Soil biostimulants are an increasingly used alternative for reducing fertilizer doses and growing healthy agricultural products. In this...

Background: Geographic distance promotes phenotypic variation by facilitating environmental distance, limiting gene flow, and exposing plants to different pollen vectors. Therefore, understanding how plant morphology changes across a geographic range improves our understanding of the drivers of...
